UPDATE: 2009-09-22 - 4.0.211.7 is being pushed to Windows. It contains 2 fixes, the first resolves the issue which prevented large downloads and the second is a stability fix which should resolve a number of crashes (bug 22135). Thank you for you again for your patience.

UPDATE: 2009-09-19 - 4.0.211.4 is being pushed to Windows and resolves this issues with bookmark synchronization. Thank you for your patience.UPDATE: THIS RELEASE HAS BEEN HALTED DUE TO A CRASHING ERROR WITH --enable-sync.

This week's changes for the dev channel, 4.0.211.2, is being released to all platforms.

All

Fixed a bug that prevented some Dailymotion videos from playing. [r25220]

Not sure why you're talking about "innovations" when you're subscribed to the dev channel. The beta channel is for the general public to help test. The dev channel is for when developers (or highly adventurous people) want to help test. Expect lots of things to go wrong in the dev channel. If you can't hang with that, subscribe to the beta channel instead... or perhaps the regular production channel.

I agree. Perhaps there could be a small "options" link on the new tab page, allowing us to remove certain aspects? For instance, maybe I want the message letting me know that the bookmarks have failed to sync but don't need to be bothered to know each time they have successfully synced. Maybe I also want the thumbnails of frequently visited sites but don't need to see the "hints".

I am amaze with the speed on this build, except for crash with --enable-sync.

Hope they will fix this ASAP.

BTW,I have same finding with matthew tsang.1) The dropdown box won't close if you have select a value, until click somewhere.2) The dropdown box won't open if dropping the list for 2nd time(click the arrow button on left to show the list, and click again to close the list, then click again and expect it will not drop down anymore).

See Google, this is why you don't release updates on Fridays. We get stuck with issues like this over the weekend that could have been otherwise fixed by the next day with a small update. There are just too many usability bugs in this one.

I don't understand Google anymore. They used to be such a great company, nowadays they don't do almost anything right. The new Docs interface is weeks late, this Chrome Dev release is totaly unusable, inovation has stopped in almost all products and they are posting mystery doodles instead of dealing with their products, some of wich need huge bugfixing and feature-adding.

Gears seems to not work now also. Offline for gmail and calendar fail. Using enable/disable/enable doesn't fix. Deleting approval for gears and then re-enabling doesn't work. Seems like all sync features (bookmark, offline, etc.) have been knocked out by this release.

The sense of entitlement from some people who signed up for a Development channel is really astounding.

@skyhard, diego, bob:You're running a DEVELOPMENT branch! You CHOSE to run it! If you want to run stable software, use the STABLE branch! It's on version 3 and *gasp* stable! Even the Beta branch gets updated once a month or so!

If you can't handle a build that occasionally breaks, you've got no business running development software, much less whining about it like a spoiled child.

Come on guys... stop complaining about the crashes, you are using the dev channel version... it is supposed to happen some times.If you dont like crashed, go back to beta or stable channels and stop crying like little girls.

I'm not sure why you lumped me in with all of the "whiners". I only made one comment saying that I hope it is fixed soon (I only say this because I enjoy the bookmark sync feature)... that's it. I didn't "whine" and, in fact, when someone else "whined" I told them that, perhaps, they'd be better off on the beta or stable channel. So, the fact that you decided to lump me in with the whining crowd makes it look as though you aren't actually reading messages too carefully.

I agree with you aaron, but what good is a dev release if 50% of the features don't work and you can't even test it. I have been on the dev channel since day one and never complained, but this build is just useless. Anyway, I know the team is doing the best they can so I don't blame them. And I hope the sync option will find its way into the beta branch soon, so I can finaly switch to the beta branch. I think that my dev days are over.

I really miss having "Clear browsing data" on the Tools menu. Even though it may be redundant, it's still very convenient! I don't know if anyone also wants "Import bookmarks & settings" on the Tools menu, but this may be advisable based on demand. Nevertheless, I am sure that many want "Clear browsing data" back on the Tools menu. Please bring it back!

nice... but my chrome still crashes if any extension is enabled! I don't have any command line... to make it work I have to disable all extensions... even gmail extension, that is a sample extension provide by google, make the browser to crash. anyone has the same problem? vista 32-bit :(

Update works now but there is many problem's with stablity. Chrome hangs and restarting. I turn on Chrome after error and i see in history 17 tab closed. I click on it and Chrome hangs again. Then I can't back to my tabs.

Is the problem sync bookmarks only?I got updated 4.0.211.4. Though, I couldn't start Chrome without using "--disable-extensions". Also I couldn't start with enable extensions (now no switch) with no extension installed.

This version crash when I open it from my configuration (with scripts, extensions and sync).

When I make a clean instalation chrome goes ok, but when I install an extension (the sample extensions, in fact, gmail notifier and that) crashes over and over again. So, I can't use extensions for now =(

Problem with copying. When I select any text and press Ctrl + C or right click and select copy, I get the grey window with the below message."Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage. To continue, press Reload or go to another page."

Lastest build is working perfectly for me. Then again, I turned off bookmark sync a few builds back when it started duplicating bookmarks after syncing. I read an online manga and I have a bookmark I change every time I get to the end of a chapter. The syncing feature kept syncing the updated bookmark and then adding the original to the bottom of the menu. Very annoying so I disabled it.

Plus, at some point they fixed the really annoying bug that was preventing me from dragging tabs between browser windows. Nice

So far this build is "ok" but for sure there are issues when installing certain extensions causing Chrome to crash in a loop. So far I had to purge my cache and redo my profile to get everything up and isolate which extensions are breaking Chrome. Hopefully a new build will be out before the end of the week.

Having GMail and Google Reader extensions installed (first is from the Example Extensions page on the Chrome dev site, the other is a third-party one based on the first) causes Chrome to crash on startup after a few seconds as it populates the extensions toolstrip.

Workaround is to quickly navigate to another page so the new tab page isn't visible while the extensions load. Once they load you can use the new tab page without crashing.

I copied the bookmarks, webdata and cookies from chrome, uninstalled it installed the latest Chromium build copied bookmarks, webdata and cookies into Chromium, reinstalled my extensions and I'm back in business.

Yesterday I had version 4.0.211.4 and found a cool feature: Dragging a tab all the way to the left would shrink so that the title of the tab went away. I thought this was a very cool feature for my always-open windows. Today it's been updated to 4.0.211.7 and this feature is gone :-( Does anyone know what happened?

I just keep getting constant crashes, I cannot last more than 2 minutes. I have been using Chrome now or many months and this is the only version that is doing it. "Whoa Google Chrome has crashed". Very frustrating and unusable. I have gone back to Firefox until it gets fixed.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through. Please come visit my site treatment atrial fibrillation when you got time.
